23' Tsunami- lift eye support necessary ???

[abl1111]

My '75 Tsunami does not have the lift eye installed in the bow deck ( although there is a hole for it )- therefore it does not have the threaded rod / support that normally would connect this bow lifting eye to the trailer eye ( located on the hull right above the water line )for support. This threaded rod would normally be located in the anchor locker.

Is this threaded rod/support important for support if I never plan on lifting the boat via the bow eye ?

I have all the parts, I just do not know if it is needed for bow support.
